  1. Think the Bills are cheap? The TB Bucs starting QB, RB and WR make less than the Bills backup center!!!!!!!!!!!!
  2. Depends on what you ask him to do. Last night on the radio broadcast Kelso said that Carrington will play a lot like Woodley where he'll be rushing the passer the vast majority of the time but when he is asked to play coverage his only real responsibilities will be to shove a receiver at the LOS and then drop back quickly and clog up a passing lane.
  3. Why would you want the Bills to retain a player of just average ability who doesn't want to be here?
  4. Incognito cleared waivers with only the Bills and Dolphins placing claims for him. No team was going to part with a draft pick to sign him.

  6. I don't remember the Gibson drama being framed as a referendum on Maybin or that anyone realistically believed at the time that Maybin could have been cut halfway through his second season. As far as I can tell no first round pick in the last 20 or so year has been cut before the end of his second season just for a lack of production with the only examples of being cut that early were Dimitrius Underwood and Lawrence Phillips-both with serious off the field issues. Had the Bills claimed Gibson it probably would have been McCargo's roster spot and he would have taken practice reps away from Arthur Moats and Antonio Coleman not Maybin.
  7. 1) Only so many can make the roster so you'd end up cutting the vast majority of the picks. 2) There wouldn't be enough reps in camp to go around to properly evaluate these players.

  9. Very true but they were bad last year as well but when the Bills played the Bears last year their pass rush was still unable to take advantage of this. I think it's safe to say that the Bills pass rush is improved but by how much remains to be seen.
  10. Remember what they said about Chris Chambers? He's been held back by the poor play of AJ Feeley, Jay Fiedler, Gus Frerotte, Joey Harrington, and Cleo Lemon. Imagine how good he will be with Philip Rivers? But the fact was that he was about 30 years old and was separated from his best season (2005) by 2 years. Sound familiar? A 3rd for Evans? How is Evans worth a 3rd at 30 coming off too poor seasons when Boldin was only worth a 3rd and a 5th at 29 and coming off two very good seasons.
  11. He looked good. On his sack (or maybe it was a pressure) he really took it to the Bears RB who was in to block.
  12. Then we can compare Lee's last two seasons to his two best seasons 2008 and 2006 2010-44.5 2009-46.3 2008-61.0 2006-59.8 A 15% drop in Lee's success rate since his two best seasons makes me think that he's lost a step.
  13. Another telling stat to look at when comparing Lee with the rest of the receiving core is the percentage of catches he made when targeted by the quarterback- Nelson-65.9 Roscoe-62.2 Stevie-57.7 Evans- 44.9 Jones- 43.9
  14. San Francisco looked terrible too. I wonder just how many 3 win or less teams there will be this year.
  15. I'm sure they weren't too worried about Lee anymore either, who only had one more catch against the Bills AFC East rivals last season than Roosevelt did.
  16. 1) Roosevelt is a virtual lock to make the roster now, which I believe was the point of the trade. 2) When did Lee make the Pro- Bowl?
  17. Gailey is debatable. http://www.wivb.com/dpp/sports/lee-evans-looking-to-bounce-back Gailey on Lee That's a pretty blunt critique of a veteran WR coming from his head coach. Now compare it to Gailey on Roosevelt http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-1/Roosevelt-rolling/906f69a7-1133-4655-8a59-ad103465906b Watch the video of the Roosevelt comments and you can just tell that he's a Gailey favorite. My guess is that he'd rather go with the coachable young guys for their potential than a 30 year old deep threat who in Gailey's mind is one dimensional.
  18. FWIW http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2011/08/12/fan-friday-8-12/
  19. Specifically what evidence do you have that this trade was an edict handed down by the Overdorf/Littman/Wilson triumvirate?
  20. OK, but I didn't make the point about the offense in general. Seriously? Roscoe averaged about 20 catches for 200 yards a season for the first 5 years of his career and Chan figured out a way to nearly double that production in only half a season. Sounds like the "maximization of effectiveness" to me.
  21. Lee's a pretty good receiver who will probably have 1-2 productive seasons with Boldin/Flacco until his production trails off precipitously. That being said I'm fine with the Bills trading away every veteran who either they don't anticipate being on the team in 2013 or who will probably be declining due to age. Did I just write off 2 seasons?
  22. Why was Chan able to maximize the effectiveness of Steve Johnson and Roscoe Parrish but not Lee?
  23. Shouldn't the fact that under Chan Stevie Johnson and Roscoe Parrish both had career years while UDFAs like Nelson and Jones looked good when given opportunities but at the same time Lee had one of his worst seasons of his entire career count for something? Why was he the only wideout that Chan was unable to elevate?
